Olympic champions Michael Phelps and Katie Ledecky were honored Sunday for their remarkable accomplishments in 2016 at the FINA World Aquatics Gala, ahead of this week’s FINA World Championships (25m).

Over eight days in Rio, the Olympic Aquatics Stadium played host to a number of memorable swims, but the most emphatic statement of all may have been the not-so-subtle, side-to-side gesturing of Lilly King’s right index finger.

In the spirit of giving, USA Swimming athletes donated their time to local charities, swim teams and fans around the country through USA Swimming's Athlete Partnership program leading up to the month of November.

Expected to draw more than 35,000 spectators, this elite competition will bring the world’s best swimmers together to compete for 46 gold medals over 6 days in a temporary world championship pool to be constructed within the WFCU Arena.
